Patch Notes For 2023-08-01.1

Features & Changes:

Factional Warfare:

"With the Uprising expansion, factional warfare space needed to be ready to handle a sudden influx of players looking to try out the new content, and so the availability of sites was tuned to prepare for that. This worked out nicely for the initial expansion as we didn’t run out of things for people to do. In the following months the initial wave settled into the new and healthy baseline of players we see today, and so we’re making some adjustments to the total number of sites in FW space to better fit the current environment. With this rebalance of site availability, we’re adjusting the relative frequency of Advanced to Navy sites, bringing those numbers a bit closer to even so it doesn’t feel so difficult to find things to do for those players looking to fly T2 or Pirate Faction ships in FW space. We’re also adjusting VP values to increase the relative value of larger complexes over smaller ones, as this should better reward the increased investment these sites often involve and drive conflicts over systems to a smaller number of critical objectives, encouraging fights and conflicts between factions looking to seize control."

Update Details

  • Battlefield Victory Point value increased from 500 to 2,000.

  • Victory Point Values of FW complexes have been adjusted to increase the relative value of larger complexes compared to smaller ones.

    • Scout and Small complexes have had their VP decreased slightly, while VP from Mediums and Large complexes has been greatly increased.

  • Distribution of FW complexes has been updated.

    • Large and Medium NVY-1 sites are now roaming spawns. This should make it easier for a group to clear out the sites in a system for a little while without being overwhelmed by respawn rates.

    • Ratio of NVY to ADV sites spawns have been adjusted from a frequency of approximately 3:1 to slightly below 2:1. This should help to make it feel better to bring T2 and pirate faction ships into faction warfare space, increasing variety while still preserving the lower investment niche offered by the NVY sites.

    • The number of 5-player complex spawns has been reduced.

    • Overall quantity of FW complex dungeon spawns has been reduced by approximately 30%. For a given set of frontline systems, this will lead to an approximate average of 6.5 FW complexes per system, down from 8.5.

  • Respawn rates of FW complexes have been increased from 15 minutes to 20 minutes in frontline systems, 40 minutes in Command Operations, and 60 minutes in Rearguard systems. Combined with overall increased Victory Point values, theoretical minimum system capture time remains about the same for frontline systems.

  • LP Value multiplier in Rearguard systems has been reduced from 0.5x to 0.01x. Complexes in rearguard systems are primarily intended to be tactical objectives rather than profitable ones and this change should help to discourage automation (bots) without decreasing the tactical value of these sites.

  • Distribution of Operations Centers has been greatly increased, there will now be approximately 2x as many in space. This should make it much easier to find these sites and acquire the items needed to construct propaganda beacons and listening posts.

Victory Point Changes

  • Scout NVY: reduced to 25 from 50

  • Small NVY: reduced to 50 from 60

  • Small ADV: reduced to 75 from 80

  • Medium NVY: increased to 150 from 100

  • Medium ADV: increased to 175 from 110

  • Large NVY: increased to 250 from 120

  • Large ADV: increased to 300 from 150

  • Open Complex: increased to 350 from 200

  • Battlefield: increased to 2000 from 500

Miscellaneous:

  • LP and EM Personal Donations 

    • We are pleased to announce that players can donate LP to any player-owned corporation.

    • Players can also donate EverMarks directly to their corporation or Executive Corporation of an Alliance if the corporation belongs to one. Donations are only possible if the player has been a corporation member for at least 30 days.

    • The same 30 days rule applies to Executive corporation donations. The corporation and the Executive corporation must be part of the same Alliance for at least 30 days to unlock EM transfers.

    • LP and EM donation functionalities are accessible via respectable Wallets.

    • Players cannot donate LPs or EMs to NPC Corporations.
